the saturday evening post

oh man. does that picture make you want an ice cream sundae [or float or milkshake] or what? ahhh...old fashioned ice cream parlors. but alas, i still have 35 days left of sugar-free-ness [but who's counting?]

on a more positive note, it is so warm and amazing here! the sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. in fact, i am even trying to plan some pool time in the coming weeks. i might as well embrace the warmth by sitting poolside while listening to music and reading a book. yet another part of the year when i am reminded of how blessed i am to live in arizona. we get to wear shorts while others are wearing snowshoes. i take my desert existence for granted. we have it pretty good.

this weekend, i have big plans to cook some good food, do some laundry, go for a run with ben, and give the dogs a bath. ahhh...the simple wonders of the weekend. it isn't all about fêtes and feasts. sometimes the swanky and dapper life [nice blog name dropping, rachel] is just about enjoying the little things. the mundane tasks. the weekly chores. the domestic doings that make up a big part of life.

join me in savoring all the little bits of your weekend and finding adventure in the ordinary.
